Project Grant K76AG094730
- This federal Project Grant award of $641,856 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research to determine the effects of reduced nursing home capacity on older adults, their caregivers, and post-acute/long-term care access. The project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, will conduct rigorous quantitative analyses to assess the implications of nursing home capacity declines, which have accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $349,561 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco to conduct the "Promoting Gynecologic Cancer Patients with Frailty to Achieve Functional Recovery Cohort Study (PROOF Cohort Study)". The study aims to 1) objectively assess physical frailty in patients aged 50 and older with advanced ovarian or uterine cancer, and quantify associations with perioperative...
- This federal Project Grant award for $366,648.00 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), to New York University (NYU). The funding supports the development of statistical methods for improving estimation and prediction models related to Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, leveraging data from longitudinal cohort studies. Specifically, the project aims to address challenges posed by complex truncation and censoring...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) for $791,086 aims to develop computational models that can predict the presence of non-Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes, such as Lewy body disease, TDP-43 proteinopathy, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy, in individuals with Alzheimer's disease neuropathological changes. The project will leverage data from autopsy-confirmed datasets, in vivo neuroimaging, and clinical assessments to build...
- This federal Project Grant award of $4,591,694.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to develop and validate an Alzheimer's disease-specific speech profile using automated speech analysis. The objective is to improve early detection and monitoring of Alzheimer's disease by leveraging existing and newly collected longitudinal speech samples from culturally and educationally diverse populations. The project will use machine learning algorithms to identify...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) aims to develop new statistical methods and data collection tools to estimate adult mortality rates in low- and middle-income countries using surveys with moderate sample sizes. The $412,656 award, with a period of performance from Sep 2024 to Aug 2026, will be used by the prime awardee, the University of California, Berkeley, to achieve two key objectives: Develop and test new statistical methods to...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $557,504.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The award supports research examining why the quality of care delivered in U.S. skilled nursing facilities varies widely, and whether this reflects differences in preferences or capabilities. The research team at the National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc. is developing an innovative method using artificial intelligence...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to develop an efficient, innovative, and resident-centered method to identify nursing home residents with unmet palliative care needs, with a focus on those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The key objectives of the $145,043 grant, awarded on September 3, 2025, are to: (1) evaluate the content and face validity and iteratively refine a palliative care screening tool; (2)...
- This federal Project Grant award of $688,321 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research on the relationship between police enforcement and health outcomes among older homeless adults aged 50 and over. The research project, conducted by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), aims to examine the association between police enforcement experiences over the life course and current health outcomes in a cohort of 350...
- The University of Washington was awarded a $388,750 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to conduct a study on the outcomes and experiences of older adults who are transferred between healthcare facilities. The project aims to: 1) characterize the outcomes of older adults who experience interfacility transfers, 2) explore the experiences of older adults and their care partners during transfers, and 3) identify factors influencing transfer decisions...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $243,000.00 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to develop and implement a prognosis communication tool for older adults receiving post-acute care in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The goal is to provide personalized prognostic information to SNF patients about the likelihood of outcomes such as hospital readmission, long-term nursing home transition, and 6-month mortality. The project aims to improve prognostic models using novel machine learning methods and then integrate the models into a communication tool to help SNF patients and their families make more informed care decisions. This effort addresses a critical gap in SNF care, where patients often receive overly optimistic information about their health trajectory. The award period runs from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2030.
